The characteristics that pulled the Greek city states together where the poetry of Homer and the food growth and preparation.
The first, the poetry of Homer, is what defined the culture aspect of the Greek societies, as it was the most important poet at the time. Homer' poetry where taught in all the greek polis (the greek name for city-states) and it was the base of school at the time, for those who had the priviledge to learn how to write and read. Other people were instructed in the poetry by listen to people who had to memorizied the poem.
The second, the food growth and preparation, comes from the natural resources of Greece. The type of soil and the morphology of the territory allowed for very specific culture, that become the base of food in the country.

The characteristics that pulled the Greek city states apart where the culture within the city-state, the loyalty to the polis and different languages. As for the first, every polis had its own culture. For example, Athens were focused on democracy and culture, while Sparta was all about war and competition. The loyalty to the polis was fundamental in the education, as it was the first and most important institution which greek people at the time should be loyal to. Besides from these facts, different languages did not help different polis come together, as the linguistic barrier could be a serious difficulty to overcome at the time as today.

1) ariel spying over Cuba produced pictures that showed missile silos being built in Cuba. The design of the silos made it clear they were designed for missiles, and it made no sense for Cuba to put in anything less than nuclear missiles there. Missiles they could not build themselves, so had to come from the Soviet Union.
2) Only minutes. A launch from the Soviet Union to the US only takes about 20 minutes. Depending on the range of the missiles put into the silos, warning time would have been anywhere from 3-10 minutes. Not enough time to verify that it was a launch, and not a detection system malfunction, forcing America to launch immediately, or risk losing its capacity to strike back.
3) A direct attack or invasion of Cuba would have forced the Soviet Union to respond in kind. The USSR simply could not abandon Cuba, without losing all credibility among its allies and vassal states. So they would likely have struck back at the US, probably in Europe. This would have dangerously escalated the tensions, and increased the probability of nuclear war. Other officials believed that a quick,determined strike would not only eliminate the immediate threat of missiles in Cuba, but possibly overthrow the regime and force the USSR to accept the situation. The idea of a naval blockade was a compromise position. A threat of force, but one that allowed the USSR to back off. After all, so long as the missiles were not put into the silos, they were no threat.
